Just kidding. I don't know. I think they could have done better with a free standing stature in a better pose. He looks more like Han Solo frozen in carbonite.





What's with that lame pose? He looks like how I look at the DMV. "I had a dream of being out of here in before my lunch break ended..."


I have no idea what game this is from:



Yeah. He should be surfing an eagle while waving some crystal thing.


This is a more appropriate pose:

That’s Nelson sending one of his wives to the moon.

OMG... lol... friggin spidey...


One of these days Alice. Boom Zip!

Is the woman on the eagle wearing undies?

Dude, it's NOT the statue of liberty.

I saw this white-colored statue of a non-caucasian recently:

["End Of The Trail" by James Earle Fraser, photo taken by my brother at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum during a recent family trip.]

Well, well, well. Something else we've farmed out to the Chinese, in a sort of back handed way.

Looking at that statue on TV last night, we were trying to figure out what looked wrong about King's face. It doesn't look quite like him. Then when they said who the sculptor was, ding, ding, ding! The face's features look kind of like a mishmash between an Asian and a Black man. Almost what a Black Buddha's face might look like, if he existed. Not unflattering, but just noting..........

I don't see it....

I wonder if him being “trapped” in the surrounding rock, is meant to be symbolic.

According to the site for the memorial, it is "Out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope."

That is apparently a huge part of the overall design concept.
